Parking/Access Road Notes

Trail Maintenance Notes
Trail Maintenance Notes: The DOC does a great job on the trails and the snow is building so, bring your snowshoes for the summit... Let's pack it out and keep it in shape! Thanks Larry for taking care of that new blow down! 
Dog-Related Notes
Dog-Related Notes: Isis had a fantastic day playing int he snow. She loved romping in the depths and digging for voles. She almost had one too! There was one other dog out today... An Australian Cattle Dog who also looked to be having the time of her life.  
Bugs
Bugs: Yeah... No. ;) 
Lost and Found
Lost and Found: I found a pair of sun glasses... Let me know if they are yours. Did you find my green collapsable bowl? 
 
Comments
Comments: Trails are in great shape. 3 inches of snow at the base and it gradually increases to tree line. Beautiful scenes all around with the water and the blue sky of today (I totally lucked out!). Above tree line, the drifts are to the knees already and snowshoes are needed. I had spikes but they got a fee ride as there is not enough ice for them to grab into. All in all, a fantastic time on Moose as always!
